Too late now. The Dems will use it to mobilize women all across the country on election day. Mitt already had the deep south locked up so there was no need to continue appealing to that vote. What he needs most is support from women in swing states and this will work against him. Abortion is the biggest trust issue women have with the Repubs and having Ryan on the ticket didn't help with the female vote. Now, he is bring the issue into the forefront and that isn't a good thing for anyone wanting to win a national election!

My point exactly!!! Just want to say AAAAHHHHRRRRGGGGGG (gnashing of teeth and rending of garments!!) Looked like we might have been on a roll

Where does this percentage figure come from? I do not see the same percentage.

I'm wondering that as well. The last stat I saw was earlier this year and it was something like 41% are pro choice and 50% are pro life. (and no, I didn't get those numbers backwards)

"The thing I admire about the rat tail is that it takes commitment. It's not like one day you just decide you want one, you have to grow out that bad boy and you have to repeatedly convince the hairdresser to trust you because it's a great idea."

so if I get $50 from Franco, an $35 from RK, and put it in my pocket.... I can go to the gas station and spend $25 on lotto tickets, and $60 on gas, but Franco didn't buy me Lotto tickets. Right? (just makin sure I got this)

Here we go again with one of those disingenuous questions. This one, I'll try to answer: for many of those opposed to abortion, artificial birth control (which PP definitely and blessedly provides) is also an issue and, certainly some PP facilities do provide abortion services, so PP has become a symbol to both the RTL and RTC camps.

Personally, although I think that abortion is a terrible form of birth control, I am glad it is available to those too stupid or lazy to figure out how to EFFECTIVELY use contraceptives (not a demographic of which I really want to see more). For those of you who really loathe paying for all the little bastards born to folks on welfare, how many more of them do you think there would be without cheap access to birth control and even abortion.

If PPH does not use federal funds for abortion, then how is cutting their funnding effecting abortion?

Rmoney said he would defund PP, all of it. PP does everything from Breast Cancer screening to nutritional health for expecting mothers. Abortion funding comes from private donations!

There is nothing disengenuous about the question.
Just because you don't like it does not make it so.
You and Franco brought up the 80% of women that support abortion.
I say that number is BS.

Your post is pretty sad, as you think abortion (the taking of life) is a viable solution to poor morals.

Who is disengenuous??

Do you or your wife know any women who have had abortions??
If so, how do they feel about it today?
